Overview

The Institute needed qualified professionals to pay ₦200,000 each for membership and fellow induction seminars across Nigeria. The campaign required nationwide reach, executive credibility, and a tightly orchestrated CRM-led follow-up engine.

The Challenge

The Institute had broad brand awareness but low paid-conversion across cities, with leads scattered, untagged, and rarely followed up on a structured cadence.

Key Challenges

▸High-value ₦200,000 fee required senior, qualified prospects.
▸Leads were unsegmented and untracked across regions.
▸Manual follow-up could not scale across multiple cities.
▸Membership messaging lacked clear executive positioning.
